Primates, The

• 1981 ----- color ----- 23 min ----- 16mm
• (Life on Earth series, Part 25) Grasping hands and binocular vision are the common characteristics of the primates, but they differ in physical size and mobility. Tree-living monkeys in Asia and the apes of Boreno are examined. The gorilla, 10,000 feet up on the sides of a volcano in Central Africa, is shown in his natural habitat. The gorillas prove to be friendly and curious, forming social groups and permanent relationships similar to man. Chimpanzees on the shores of Lake Tanganyika demonstrate the most potent form of social grooming among the primates.
